Soup Recipes for Your Family

As the temperature drops and the leaves begin to fall, it's
natural to gravitate to heart-warming meals. Soups are a delicious and easy way
to load up on good-for-you ingredients, and a great way to keep on top of your
weekly meal planning. They can be made ahead of time and frozen in batches, to
be part of both lunch and dinner for your busy family. Plus, they're good for
you and can keep everyone in your family protected during cold season.

Next time you're in a warm kitchen on a brisk fall
afternoon, try out one of these quick soup
recipes. From beans to veggies, each food recipe offers something for everyone. They'll
warm you up, keep you energized and make even the pickiest eaters around the
dinner table happy.

1. Black Bean Chorizo
Soup

While it can certainly be adapted for the vegetarians in
your house, using chorizo and bacon as a base in this savory soup recipe will
add a distinctive layer of flavor that's complemented by the bold flavors of
Bouillon stock, peppers, onions and garlic. Top it off with some shredded
cheddar, sour cream or avocado slices (or maybe even all three!), and serve
with a side of tortilla chips for extra crunch.
